Semua Bab Love Prevails : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Everyone had masks on their faces, so unless you knew what mask each one was wearing that evening, it would have been difficult to identify a specific person. Camilla had on a queen's mask, while Bradford had the mask of a king. By the time all the guests had arrived and had been given a glass in hand, the host and hostess entered the ballroom. First they mingled with guests, and then it was time for Bradford to make the introductory welcome speech."Ladies and Gentlemen, as we dawn on a new year, let's reflect and be thankful for the year we exit out of. Friends have been made, loved ones lost," he said, holding his wife dear and near to him, "couples uniting and business thriving. One thing I have learned this year is to cherish what you have. Let's enjoy this ball and move forward into a better new year," he completed saying, holding up his glass to his wife. Everyone applauded the speech and went back to mingling. Earlier that week, at Thorn Cross Prison in Warrington, Cheshire,

It had been two months since the masquerade ball and the incident that had occurred at the ball. Marshall celebrated becoming a teenager.Camilla had remembered the conversation that she had had with Nancy as well as the conversation she had had with her daughter. Turning to her husband, she said, "Babe, I want to do something for Nancy. She has been so amazing with our children." The look on his face was quizzical. "Honey, if you want to do something for Nancy, just say it, and we'll make it happen."Nancy was orphaned at the age of seven. Her father died when she was only a year old, and mom passed away from cancer when she was seven years old. She never knew her other family as her mother was ousted from the community when she was eighteen due to falling pregnant and disgracing the family name. Nancy didn't know the full story of her father or mother's family. When she was seven, she was sent to an orphanage where she was raised. At the age of eighteen, she left and got a job wo

August was here. The weather started to cool down. Bradford and Camilla had planned for their week away. Joyce and the kids were going to Chris and Ruby for the week as there was no one home to keep an eye on them. Frank was away with his family. It had been a while since they travelled. Michelle and James were busy being new parents, and Tamara was in Bolton studying. Bradford, Meghan, and baby headed out after Camilla Marshall and Joyce. As he had to lock up and ensure everything was secure. What the family didn't know was that Steven was back in town, and he had been struggling to get work due to his criminal record. They hadn't even been informed that he had been released from prison and completed rehab. However, Steven relapsed after a week of being released from the rehab centre. Steven had borrowed his cousin's car in London and drove to Cheshire. He was living in a room at an old friend's place. "Steven," Matthew said, "Brother, you need to try and get another job."Unders

As Tamara walked into the room with Frederick, she saw that Marshall's bed had been moved to his mother's room."Bradford, this is much better," she said to him, handing him a cup of coffee and a sandwich from the hospital cafeteria.Tamara then said, "I'm going to check in on Aunty."Frederick put an arm around her, "I'm going to speak with Bradford quickly, then I will meet you." After Tamara walked out, Frederick said, "Listen, there's something you need to know. Tamara and I were on our way back here, and we saw someone. Tamara was pretty sure, so we confirmed the suspicion at the nurse's station." Irritated, Bradford growled at him, "Just get to the point dammit!"Trying to think of a way to say it, he stammered as he spoke, "Bradford, Camilla's ex-husband was released from prison on good behaviour. That's not the point, though. The point is that he was admitted to hospital around the same time as Camilla and Marshall."Bradford's blood started boiling, "WHAT! That son of a ...

Over the next few weeks, Bradford was spending more time with Camilla as Marshall was doing more physiotherapy. Eventually, there came a point where the doctor informed them that they could go home on the condition that Marshall kept up with his physio and Camilla made weekly visits to the hospital, but should anything change, they were to immediately return to the hospital.Bradford had hired a physiotherapist to come two times a day to the house to work with Marshall, and, well, Nancy was there as well. Bradford helped both of them settle back in. The surroundings seemed so familiar and warm for Camilla, and on seeing her daughter and her aunt, she knew she really was home. At the sight of seeing her aunt and her daughter, she slowly started getting small flashbacks, and then she saw her baby, who was no longer a baby but a toddler, and more pieces of the puzzle started to fit together.That evening, she saw Nancy all dressed up. "You look beautiful. Are you going on a date?" she a
